I love eating outside here. Their gardens are lovely and in bloom in the summer. The tacos are amazing and have many options for vegetarians and meat eaters. Plus, they have a good number of gluten-friendly possibilities too! (my friend who has a gluten allergy has eaten there safely many times, but it is a mixed kitchen, so make sure to double-check if you go). I love the pork-belly tacos, personally. I recommend this place for getting together with friends because everyone can get something they like, and it will be quick and easy. Do keep an eye on which location you are going to, though, not because any are bad, but because they are a good distance away from each other. It would be a shame to try and meet someone for lunch and find out they are 30 minutes away on the other side of town!

We couldn't make it to Cracker Barrel as the wait was over 40 minutes but we were very glad that we stopped here at IHOP the wait was about 10 minutes for a Saturday morning and our waiter provided us with excellent service. Actually everybody was very friendly there. They all help bring out the orders as well. They now have gluten free waffles/pancakes which is nice for those with gluten sensitivity. They were light and fluffy like cake. Breakfast sampler arrived within five minutes so everything was hot. Orange juice was fresh. Busboys thoroughly wiped everything down including the salt and pepper shakers. Enjoyed my last breakfast in Asheville.

I have found a new favorite place to eat in Arden, NC. When you travel as much as I do, being gluten intolerant has been difficult for the last 7 years, but the restaurants are growing. I liked the clean fish tank and the live hanging plants that were hanging throughout the restaurant. You could tell someone loves taking care of them. The restaurant was nice, clean, and the staff were great. I even found a girl from the United Kingdom working there who tried to trick me with her pronounced water. I figured it out by the second try. The best part about this restaurant is all the gluten-free options. Why? Gluten-free pizza, pastas, and dessert are unheard of at most restaurants. Not here they truly cater to both customers. I even got to color a picture with crayons while I waited for my bbq chicken pizza on cauliflower crust. It was perfect with the chocolate cake slice. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you live here or are passing through. The regular bread pizzas are huge compared to other companies, too. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely Would I return? Absolutely

One of the best places to eat in town! The brewery in the back is pleasantly atmospheric, and the restaurant in the front is so family friendly. The food is beyond delicious. I can't speak highly enough. Please Try It! (They have gluten free options)

Rylan was a wonderful waiter. He explained gluten free options to me! Food was great!!!

Abby Carlson

Sublime! The glass case of Lego Star Wars spaceships as soon as you walk in just set the vibe that you were here to have a good time. Each step of the meal was perfect. The gluten free bun was delicious!

Had an incredible birthday lunch at Itto Ramen Today! The gluten-free Ramen was a delight—so hearty and wholesome. I absolutely loved the diverse mix of vegetables, and the fact that it's vegan made it even better. The flavors were exceptional, making it a delicious and memorable experience. Five stars for an outstanding meal!

As a gluten-free person, this is one of my favorite breakfast places, the most banged for my buck. Food is always phenomenal and comes out quick with that to note. Service can be a little bit busy. Don’t be afraid to remind them. You need a little more coffee or water. I’ve been coming here for about 4 years with their previous location as well.

Would definitely return though wish they had a separate fryer for fries. I had the gluten free vegan pizza and shots will return my next visit to town

Usually, the pizza is pretty good. However, we had to do a gluten free crust due to a member in the party. It was not good. Had the texture of a cracker and the one we got had no marinara so it was just completely too dry, and I honestly didn’t want to eat it at that point.

Good burger & for gluten free with no bun they put it in a bowl for you which was really nice! Frys were great too!

Bry Sidwell

Delicious and there is something for everyone!! I’m gluten free and lactose free and eating out usually mean I have to sacrifice flavor and that is absolutely not the case at El Aguila!! We really enjoyed it!! Thank you!!

We were returning home from vacation and walked in right at 9 when they should be closing. They still welcomed us and took our order and went out of their way to make adjustments to a dish that I wanted gluten free. Friendly service, nice atmosphere and clean. It is across town from where we live, but we plan to go back.
